Sonos vs. Amazon Echo

It doesn't, yet. Right now, Sonos is working on an integration with the Amazon Echo system, which has been promised to be released this year.

Does anyone know how to make the sonos system operate with voice commands similar to the Amazon Echo?

Start up Echo, say Alexa, send a message to Sonos CEO - "Hurry up I have been waiting a long time for the integration to be announced! Don't deliver tomorrow when i wanted it yesterday"

or

Just wait patiently till the announcement and run an upgrade on your Sonos / Echo systems.

If you have a 5 unit and are in a hurry to get a preview of what is coming, buy a Dot, wire connect it to the 5 and start. Later the upgrade will allow this to be done without wires and therefore also on Sonos kit that does not have a line in jack.
Or so I understand, and am open to being corrected.

Go to the Skills store, search for Sonos. You'll find my skill there, use that. No need to wait for Sonos.

Come on Sonos.... you should have had this out a long long time ago. Just saying.

So you have experience with the software development cycle when integrating Alexa Voice Control into multi-room audio platforms?

I do have experience with software development companies. I've funded 3 of them. ; )

Not what I asked. I asked if you have kexperience with the software develoment cycle of this particular integration.
